Logistical Nightmare
The northern Romanian pocket is visibly decreasing every day. The Romanian defenders are broken, so they cannot resist the attacks of our troops. They will probably surrender in the following days.
After a surprisingly short but quite bloody battle the city of Ploesti and valuable oil fields were captured by the German soldiers. We are now approaching Bucharest. We expect to face some opposition, but there is no doubt the capital will fall sooner or later. When this happens, the Romanians will most likely surrender.
The Soviets were forced to move forces from the southern part of the Kuban Region to defend against the advancing German forces in the areas located north of Kuban. We decided to exploit this weakness and encircle several Soviet divisions in the process. Despite big logistical problems, several armoured, motorised and mechanised divisions were ordered to attack the Soviet tanks in two selected places.
The Soviet defenders were quickly overwhelmed, but we are unsure whether we will be able to advance very far because of our strained supply network.
Northern Romanian defenders are now isolated in a single province. There is no escape.
Our troops are slowly pushing forward in the Kuban Offensive. As expected, various supply problems became noticeable as soon as our divisions left their initial positions. As a result, they cannot fight with full efficiency and in the worst cases they are unable to advance at all.
Our soldiers are eagerly anticipating the completion of the first set of infrastructure improvements which are scheduled for November. Trucks loaded with supplies became the new symbol of hope and many soldiers fighting in the region now know the names of the truck drivers.
We have begun the siege of Bucharest, meeting surprisingly little resistance. However, the Romanian reinforcements are arriving as we speak. The enemy is also counterattacking in the province north-west to the capital, but reinforcements are already on their way.
We are making progress in our Kuban Offensive, but logistical problems prevent us from exploiting our gains to the fullest. Unforuntately, the Bolsheviks have many armoured formations in the region and a better supply situation, so they are able to withdraw in time.
However, we have found an another weakly defended spot in their lines and our armoured and mobile divisions are already pushing forward in the area north-east of Rostov. Our supply situation is a bit better here, so it should be possible to keep the pressure on our enemies for a while.
Our logistical situation in Kuban is becoming desperate. As a result, we cannot translate our tactical victories into operational successes. The Soviet divisions, although badly mauled, managed to avoid encirclement, so we have to declare that the initial phase of the Kuban Offensive failed.
In order to decrease our supply problems in the East, the Fuhrer decided that all battered or exhausted divisions will be transferred to the west whenever possible.
Despite the failure of the first phase, we still have a chance to form several encirclements. The Soviets lack reserves, so we plan to cut them off from Stalingrad by capturing several provinces located deeper in Russia, where they will not be able to respond quickly to the German advance.
